Best Bluetooth speaker Summary

NTA Consensus

• Bluetooth speaker usage in the wilderness:
  • "If nobody is around when you start the music and anybody who comes up on you has room to spread out so they don't hear it then you are not an asshole."
  • "It'd be a problem if you were blasting music, but listening to a book at a reasonable volume seems perfectly fine in a wilderness area."
• Bone conduction headphones as an alternative:
  • "[They] allow you to listen to things while still being able to hear what’s going on around you."
• Brown noise for sleep:
  • "When trying to sleep or to help with tinnitus, Brown noise might be helpful."
• Hiking safety with headphones:
  • "I want to know what’s going on around me. Also, bears as others have mentioned."
• Using a speaker to ward off animals:
  • "It can also help warn off animals of your presence so they avoid you and your camp."

YTA Consensus

• Using earbuds instead of a speaker:
  • "Absolute worst when you're trying to experience nature and some dick has a Bluetooth speaker."
• Concerns about music playing in nature:
  • "Even if it's on low volume to you, others might have more sensitive hearing and don't want to listen to your music or audiobook."
• Respecting quiet in nature:
  • "Why are you going to the quietest place on earth if you don't like quiet."
